    US election (merged threads)

    Just went from Tampa to Tallahassee and back over the last couple of days for work and can confirm that they are astoundingly different in their make up. I'd certainly agree that HRC needs to keep the champagne on ice a little while longer. But if she wins FL then it's pretty much a formality...

    Happy victory against Manchester United day.

    It was my 24th birthday.I was stood in line with the Ward goal and vividly remember the North Stand exploding into raptures at the triumphant return of the Messiah ... memories indeed

    Accurate attendance site?

    To put The Championship in an international perspective: it wouldn't take much to be the 4th biggest league in Europe measured by attendance (NUFC skewing things this season obv). We'd probably be the 4th best attended club if we were in Italy/France top division ... except we'd then be...

    Starting 11 for the game against Bristol City

    Attack is our weak suit. We have the scored the same number of goals as each other. Food for thought ...

    [Albion] Football Focused

    From afar ... yes! Been summoned to HK early next month. There's a direct flight from LA but I'm going via London which gives me just enough time for Cardiff (A) on the way out. Returning Friday via Gatters just in time for Leeds (H). Sucked in indeed!

    Villa a Friday night sell out ?

    Spurs v Forest I think ... a 0-0 bore fest if memory serves. Made me think all live football must be crap for the neutral and put me off Sky from the very start. Nothing I've seen since has caused me to change that opinion despite the occasional riveting match (Man City v A Spanish Team with no...

    [Albion] REPORT: Albion 5 - 0 Norwich

    I'm quite happy to acknowledge the whopping swing in GD as worth no more than 0.000000000000001 of a point .... but the *******s will still need a whole one to overtake us :O

    Anyone on here buy the 1901 seats yesterday

    Bought one for the boy in return for him driving me to Heathrow this afternoon. His pie was served on a plate. He walked up to the bar whenever he wanted a drink. Eaisy to find a seat in the bar. Seats had great view. Compared to Premier, theatre, etc prices it was quite reasonable in his view...

    Missing Match Day

    The idea of a bunch of middle aged herberts (lawyers, accountants, teachers, doctors, managers, executives and people with their own businesses) squeezing into a boozer for two hours of noisy guffawing interrupted by shouts of (Oi, Henry, you old bast*rd ...) is not what they do. They all drive...

    Missing Match Day

    20 times a season I feel like that but not today. Off for brunch in Lewes soon. Then drinking in a way alien to California - relaxed, carefree and to excess. Walk up from the station ... pie, pint ... up the "tunnel" ... first glimpse of the green pitch which never fails to quicken the pulse...

    ** BHA v Norwich ** - Score Predictor - Now in its 6th SEASON !!

    3-1 ... they're rubbish! And here's the (surprising?) evidence to support that view.

    Player ratings vs Wigan (Away)

    Not often I'm in a position to do this but here goes... Stockdale 7 only. One good save (the second of the double was offside) but he flapped at a cross beyond the back post early on, collapsed on the ground and left the goalmouth completely exposed. That was the point we seemed out of sorts...

    Are we playing for 2nd place?

    Exactly ... let's see how it looks after we've won 8 in a row in March

    Trafalgar

    That would be the poor hard done by little corporal who, inspired by the egalitarian spirit of the Revolution, set himself up as Emperor of the French and went on to install his siblings as king/queen of 3 or 4 conquered countries. That self-same Revolution which was brought about as a result of...

    Norwich - huge crowd

    Good stuff - flying back this evening for a meeting in Manchester on Friday which is rather convenient for Wigan on Saturday (just one of those amazing coincidences!). Got my ticket for Norwich ... I won't leave early, I won't moan about the pies, I won't whinge about winning 1-0 and I won't...

    Where would you be

    A little bit east of where I am right now (let's call it Denver) but according to the prologue I'd be in an equatorial swamp about 4,000 miles away and 150,000,000 years ago - probably snuggling up with a Diplodocus.
